I get a lot of catalogs at the holidays – probably because I do just enough odd online shopping to catch the attention of every marketer in the state. And I’m not necessarily fashion-conscious. I don’t need to shop from Pottery Barn or Williams-Sonoma or anything to feel like my house is a nice one.
All that being said, I got a catalog from MacKenzie-Childs this year, and I have to say, these folks scare the crap out of me. I can’t imagine how you’d decorate your house with these furnishing and not be terrified at night. It has to come with monsters under the bed.
